Sleep tight memories
We've all gotta turn in sometimes
Fall back take a seat
'Cuz I never made it past the headlines
And who could ever understand
The obligation that was forcing my hand?
Another chance for grace to win
As I give in
Down this river of lead I roll
Feel it pull me underneath
If the fire don't kill me the water will
Feel it pull me underneath
Lay me down to sleep
I pray there's something left to keep
I hold my breath and wait for the mountain to move
But I forget there's nothing that I can do
I guess I never seem to choose a side
The conversation's taking place in my mind
Another chance for grace to win
If I give in
Down this river of lead I roll
Feel it pull me underneath
If the fire don't kill me the water will
Feel it pull me underneath.
Lay me down to sleep
I pray there's something left to keep
Oh, if you could but you can't get by
You ain't gonna be anything if you don't try
Down this river of lead I roll
Feel it pull me underneath
If the fire don't kill me the water will
Feel it pull me underneath
Down this river of lead I roll
Feel it pull me underneath
If the fire don't kill me the water will
Feel it pull me underneath
Lay me down to sleep
I pray there's something left to keep
